Chapter 44: (Demon Slayer) -- CHAPTER 43: To Kyoto



Only a few minutes had passed in reality, but more than two months had passed in Tsukuyomi Space.

After returning to reality, Yuri felt a slight burning sensation in his eyes, but fortunately, during these days, he had completely mastered the Sun Breathing Technique, full concentration breathing and constant concentration.

On the opposite side, Douma, turned into almost a corpse, Yuri managed to break his brain during these two months.

At first, the demon had no emotions. Later, during the brutal murders, fear, resentment, anger and other emotions arose in his heart, and he began to curse Yuri, who continued killing him without any pity to practice his skills.

However, after more than a dozen Tsukiyomis, Douma's eyes lost their luster, like a soulless corpse. No matter what Yuri did, there was no response.

"Ahh~ What a disappointment... I'll invite you to enjoy the sun later. Consider yourself lucky."

Yuri grabbed Douma's hair and dragged him outside.

And when he left the temple, he found Kanae who had just arrived.

She looked at Yuri and then at the demon with a lifeless look on her hand, and suddenly felt... Where had she seen this scene before?

--------

As time passes, the night gradually gets darker.

Outside the main hall, Douma, who had a great reputation in the past and had killed several Demon Slayers, was now nailed to the ground with a nichirin.

In the main hall, there was a bonfire burning that released heat and light into the surroundings, and only the occasional sound of burning branches sounded in the peaceful night.

At this moment, Yuri and Kanae were sitting on the steps of the main hall, silently watching the fire.

"So, Winters-kun heard that I was coming to carry out a mission from the Demon Slayer corps, so he ran ahead of me and defeated this demon?"

"Well, I was very anxious at that time."

Yuri nodded, looked at Douma there and said, "I got a little too excited and ended up hitting him too hard."

"Pfft... You happen to have such a cute side."

Kanae couldn't help but laugh when she saw Yuri's embarrassed expression.

She could even think of his anxious look in her mind.

Because he was worried about her, he ran and beat a demon from the upper moons until he broke the demon's mind... It was very funny, but...

"It's a little comforting."

Kanae looked tenderly at the young man beside her.

"I was shocked when I saw you today. It was the first time I saw you so angry. It looked like you had cut that demon hundreds of times"

Yuri blinked. He actually cut thousands of times day and night to practice.

"However, I don't hate it. Because when you saw me at that moment, you smiled very gently."

When Kanae said this, her eyes were slightly stunned and she said softly:

"It's how my father looked at my mother when I was little."

Yuri looked at Kanae's appearance and after hesitating for a moment, he reached out to hug her.

"Winters-kun…" The girl's shy words sounded like a whisper.

"Call me Yuri."

He untied his Haori and wrapped them both at the same time.

The unexpected warm embrace made the girl's body weaken.

After all, she had never had any love experience, she was so nervous by Yuri's actions that her ears turned red.

But the most important thing is...

She doesn't hate it.

In fact, from the beginning, when she felt Yuri chasing her in the butterfly mansion, Kanae couldn't resist and was even a little happy.

Yuri also noticed this. He gently leaned into Kanae's ear and blew hot breath slyly.

"Kanae...?!"

Yuri was startled when he saw the girl who seemed to have lost all her strength and fell into his arms. He didn't expect her to be more sensitive than he thought.

"I... I'm really tired..."

Kanae came up with such rhetoric and explained with a guilty conscience and in a low voice while lying on Yuri's chest.

"But...you...you're not allowed to play."

"What?"

"It's inappropriate here…"

The girl's weak words at this moment served more as a temptation than to stop Yuri from having evil thoughts.

Yuri couldn't help but laugh.

He wrapped his arms tightly around the girl's slender waist and held her in his arms.

At this moment, the girl looked like a cat in his arms, her plump body fitting tightly into his chest.

The heart that was beating hard at first took time to slowly stabilize, and the sound of each beat fascinated the girl cradled in his arms. The sound of the boy's heartbeat was like a lullaby she heard in her childhood, which gradually calmed her heart.

When the excitement and playfulness ended, a sense of harmony and security echoed between the two.

They hugged each other in an intimate posture, like a couple in love.

They could hear each other's heartbeats, feel each other's body temperature and breathing, and the gradually corresponding rhythms seemed to become one person.

......

......

Time passed, and when the first ray of sunlight shone in the morning, Douma, who was stuck outside the hall, let out an instinctive cry of fear of the sun.

But this time, Yuri canceled the genjutsu that blocked Muzan's mental power, allowing him to see his existence at the end of his life.

(According to your character, who will he send?)

(At the very least, I hope it's someone strong. Someone like Akaza.)

(The warrior who is most likely to dominate the 'transparent world' and has been practicing for hundreds of years…)

Hearing the roar outside, Kanae, who knew that Douma was about to die, felt inexplicably relaxed. She shook her head, rubbed herself against Yuri's chest like a kitten and asked in a low voice:

"Yuri…"

"Um?"

"I always believed that demons and humans were the same type of creature and I sympathized with demons. I believe that hunting demons is not only saving the people they want to kill, but also freeing demons from their sad fate."

Kanae looked at him fondly.

"My thoughts have always been considered very kind. Tell me Yuri, do you think I'm right?"

This is a doubt that Kanae has always hidden in her heart. Only to the young man at her side would she reveal her weaker nature. She is confused and looking for protection and wants Yuri's help.

"In my opinion, they are to some extent very similar to humans. However, I think there are more good people among humans than among demons."

Yuri's softened and he gently stroked Kanae's hair.

"Kanae, let me take you to meet someone. I hope your dream can be realized through her."

"This person's name is Tamayo. She lives in Kyoto and is trying to develop a medicine that can turn demons back into humans. Maybe you can talk to her."

Yuri thought about it and looked at the storage.

Out of caution, he took some of Nezuko's blood and first took a tube with Rui's and now Douma's blood.

If Akaza also comes after him, then his blood will probably be enough for Tamayo's experiments.

If she is successful in her research, she could develop a drug that could transform her into a human.

In this way, she will fulfill her desire to become human again. This will be a huge change to the original plot and should give him more roulette points.

Thinking about this, Yuri let go of Kanae, slowly stood up and looked at the rising sun.

"Come on, after this trip to Kyoto, it will be time to go after Muzan!"

-------

Kyoto

In a mansion somewhere near the outskirts of the city.

There was a frail young man with a Jacksonian perm and a white hat. He was silently reading about medical skills.

Suddenly, a figure jumped out of the darkness, crouching barefoot on the porch railing.

He was a very muscular young man, of average height, with skin so fair it appeared bright white tinged with green, decorated by a pattern of thick blue lines, reminiscent of the criminal tattoos he had as a human.

He had short, bright pink hair that fell around his head and inward-facing yellow eyes with pink eyelashes and blue sclera that somewhat resembled cracked glass. The kanji for Upper Rank was engraved on his right iris, and the daiji for Three was engraved on his left.

The lines on his face curved through each of his eyes, from below his ears to his temples, another blue line running from the center of his hairline to the bridge of his nose, with two more lines running around it. from his neck, another three branching from the lower one to his torso.

The middle line ran directly from his chest to halfway down his stomach, and the other two branched out to the sides over each side of his chest to join the other two lines. This same three-line pattern was also repeated around his waist.

On his arms, lines ran down the front of his shoulders that turned into two more, which outlined his biceps before continuing to run down to his wrists, below which each of his fingers were also dark blue with an orange nail, his Toes also shared this unusual appearance.

He wore little and only sported a short, sleeveless, dark purple-pink haori, cut off at the waist, left open to expose his chest, and decorated by a square pattern on the back. Below that, he sported a pair of baggy white pants that he rolled up to just below the knee with a blue rope belt to secure them at his waist. He was barefoot, but he wore a pair of large, round, pink pearl chains around his ankles.

Judging by the words etched in his eyes, this is none other than Akaza.

The pages of the medical book were still rustling.

Akaza realized something was wrong. He looked a little nervous and shouted respectfully, "I'm here, Muzan-sama!"

The sound of rustling pages stopped.

Akaza's heartbeat suddenly stopped. His face became uncomfortable and distorted with fear, but he still forced himself to maintain the same posture as before, lowering his head respectfully and waiting.

After a while...

"Akaza... Douma is dead. He was killed by a man and a woman from the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Yes!" Akaza said, "Please give me some time and I will definitely kill them with my own hands, Muzan-sama!"

"Time?" Muzan covered the page of the book and said in a deep voice, "But they have already arrived in Kyoto."

Akaza's pupils suddenly shrank and extreme pain overwhelmed his body, instantly hitting him on the railing. There were cracks scattered across the stone railing. The pain almost made him fall to the ground, sweat dripped all over his face.

"Go kill them tonight, otherwise there is no need for you to come back."

"Yes!"

Akaza gave another respectful salute, then stood up and leapt between the huge trees, disappearing into the night in a moment.

And with Akaza gone, the bars finally lost all support and collapsed.

This noise attracted the attention of the owner of the house.

"Toshikuni? Are you okay? I just heard a noise in your room."

"It's okay, it's just two annoying mice."

"Should I buy rat poison tomorrow?"

"No need, those two mice won't survive tonight."

............

............

After obtaining the information about Tamayo from Kagaya, Yuri arrived in Kyoto with Kanae.

The two easily found the location of the mansion and knocked on the door according to the code given by Kagaya and waited for a while.

Yuri knocked on the door twice again and said:

"Tamayo-san we come in the name of the Demon Slayer Corps, you must have already received the message through the crows..."

"Winters-kun and Kocho-san please come in."

After a while, a mature woman's voice came from the room, the voice was elegant and soft.

Yuri and Kanae looked at each other and then opened the door and entered. What they saw were layers of bookshelves on three sides of the room and the various files and books on them.

There are kerosene lamps hanging from the pillars in the room. Although the light does not enter the outside world, it also prevents the room from falling into darkness.

Taking advantage of the light, Yuri saw a large table in the center of the room. On the opposite side of the table, Tamayo had just put down a scroll and raised his head to look at Yuri.

The two saw each other's faces at the same time, and then their eyes stagnated on each other for a moment, as if they could not move their gazes.
